Almost is Never Enough

The Letters (Part 1)

Marcel
I hate Klaus. I hate him. All he had to do was love his second child just as much as his first, and I would still have my little sister. I can't even see her anymore, or know where the hell she is so he doesn’t find out. After she left, I got angry and started trashing my room. Then I went into Emma’s room and I just sat on her bed. I had a room made for her last year. She would come and stay with me whenever she was tired of her family. This is part of the reason why I hate the Mikaelsons. Kol is acceptable...ish. After a few minutes of just sitting there, I opened the letter Emma wrote me. She has really good handwriting for an 8 year old.
Marcel, 
I wrote you this letter because I am running away. I can't deal with my family anymore. I’m tired of being mistreated. I wish I could have just stayed with you but then they might try to take me back. So I left. Uncle Kol and Aunt Davina helped me. D put a cloaking spell on me so I can't be found and Uncle Kol compelled someone to take me somewhere and look after me until I find a new home and a new family. I also placed a memory spell on both him and Vina so that nobody can try to force my location out of them. I promise that I will find a way to see you and stay in contact with you. You're my family, my big brother. I love you MarsBars.
Love,
Emma Grayce Mikaelson

By the time I finished, I was in tears. She really left and it's all because of them. They took away someone important to me AGAIN. I'm gonna miss her so freaking much.  

Josh
My little buddy is gone. Em may have only been 8, but she was my best friend. She was so sweet and so smart. I would always buy her a new book and read with her. She's just a big bundle of joy. I miss her. And just like everything else, the Mikaelsons manage to take her away from me. She ran away to be happy, which she SHOULD have experienced with her family. But no, they just have to be jackasses. I went back to my apartment and opened the letter she gave me.

Joshy,
I'm gonna miss you best friend. You are the bestest best friend ever! I'm sorry I left but I just couldn't stay anymore. I promise I'm gonna call you and hopefully even visit you. I love you Josh. 
Love, 
Emma
P.s. You better find a boyfriend that I'm gonna like when I meet him. If not i'm gonna compel him out of the country :)

I'm so gonna miss that kid.

Sofya
I can’t believe she’s really leaving. She's only 8 and has been through so much. I wish I could have adopted her. At least then she would still be in New Orleans. She’s such a bright kid. If only the Mikaelsons got to know her.  Sighing, I open my letter.
Sofie,
Hi sof! I'm gonna miss you. You're like the big sister I never had. Don’t worry, I'm gonna come back and visit eventually. But until then, I need you to keep an eye on my big brother. I know he’s hurting and he’s not gonna be himself. He’s going to be a mess, so please take care of him for me. You're really good for him and I'm glad you two love each other. Don’t deny it because you know i'm right. 
Love, 
Emma
Such a smart kid. I'm really gonna miss her. And the best thing I can do until she comes home is honor her wish and take care of the man I love.

Diego 
Damn. Another reason to hate the Mikaelsons. They drove Emma away. She's Such a sweet kid. I sat on my bed and opened my letter from her.

Diego,
Thanks for being such a great friend to me diego. You have always been supportive of me and I really appreciate you. You're like another big brother to me just like Josh and Marcel. I'm gonna miss you. And don’t you dare try and follow me. Because I know your hard headed self will try. But please don’t. If you find out where I am, my biological family might use you to try and find me. Love you Diego<3
Love, 
Emma

Davina
Once Kol and I got back to the compound, we were both crying. We walked in to see everyone else in the living room, even Hope. The moment everyone looked at us saw that we were both crying, they rushed over asking what happened. I pushed past all of them and ran up to Kol and I’s room. I sat on the bed, sobbing before I opened the letter she wrote me. 
Vina,
My absolute favorite aunt. I love you so much. You're the best aunt in the world. Thank you so much for taking care of me and not pretending I don't exist. Thank you for loving me and teaching me magic. I would be a mess without you. But now, I'm already super strong and powerful. I can even create spells on my own now! You're a better mom to me than my actual mom. I can't  wait until I see you again. You're the best aunt/mom ever.  By the way, look under your pillow:)
Much love,
Your Munchkin.
My Munchkin. By the time I finished reading, I started sobbing harder. I was so hurt and angry that the house began to shake. It was windy, things were falling and breaking, and I couldn’t stop any of it. I just lost my baby girl and she wasn't even my daughter. I don’t know what i'll do without her. All I know is that the Mikaelsons will pay for this. I'm gonna make sure of it. I finally got control of my emotions and looked under my pillow. There was a teddy bear and two angel wing necklaces.
